Mawae’s agent waiting to hear back

Nothing has changed for veteran center Kevin Mawae. He’d love to re-sign with the Titans.

But nothing has changed in contracts talks either, according to his agent. An NFL.com report over the weekend said the Titans were making progress in talks with Mawae and a deal should be wrapped up well before free agency opens on March 5.

That came as news to Mawae’s agent, Mark Bartelstein.

“I don’t know where that came from because we haven’t heard anything,’’ Bartelstein said. “We’re kind of waiting to hear back from (the Titans) to see what they are thinking and hopefully we’ll hear from them this week.’’

Bartelstein said he called Titans General Manager Mike Reinfeldt before the Super Bowl, “and they said they were trying to take a deep breath and evaluate everything and they’d get back to me so I am kind of waiting to hear back from them.’’

Indications are the Titans continue to talk with the agents for players scheduled to be free agents, but work remains. On Monday, the team agreed to terms with another offensive lineman — guard Eugene Amano.

Mawae just finished his 16th NFL season and played in his eighth Pro Bowl earlier this month.

“Kevin’s position is he’d love to be back there, he loves everything about it,’’ Bartelstein said. “But we’ll have to see what happens. All things being equal he’d certainly love to stay with the Titans. He still loves playing and is still playing at a really high level.’’
